How to program a EPM7128ATC100-6 Cpld (Max 7000 series)? I can't find it in Quartus

Question

Hi, I have some EPM7128ATC100-6 and I want to use them in a little project.

I'm using Quartus 13.0sp1 because seems this is the last version that supports the Max 7000 series.

But I can't find this model in Quartus. The closer model I found was EPM7128AETC-7.

Are they compatible? What is the difference between the AE and ATC models?

I have a guy who can sell more of those Cplds, but first I need to make sure I can easily program them.

Someone can help? This is a newbie question but the last time I worked with Cplds and Fpgas was like 10 years ago.

Thanks.....

This is the datasheet for the A and AE models. Don't have information about this ATC model.

But thanks for the reply.

The difference *is* between the "A" and "AE" version. The "TC" in "ATC" is package and temperature. See attached pdf.

Hi, thanks, I was looking for this information.....

So seems that I need to find a way to program this "A" version, but Quartus v13.0 can only program "AE" models.

By the link below seems that we cannot program an "A" model with an "AE" binary:

This Max II Plus is very old, but I'll try to install it in my Windows 7. I'll try to find this Quartus 8.1, but by the link below seems that Quartus 9 also can program this device:

I installed Quartus v9, v8.1 and Max Plus II (student edition 10.2) but none of them has the Max7000a devices. Even Max Plus II only has the Max7000AE devices.

Max Plus II has some Max7000 devices, but doesn´t have EPM7128 models.

So, someone knows if Altera ever released a software able to program a EPM7128A device?
